    Same article:
    Ditto for non-stick cookware!
     
    I guess our only choice is to go back to early caveman days (before the discovery of fire) and eat everything raw!

      You have a point.  There are so many of these studies that I think most people are rolling their eyes and tuning them out, even though the study may have merit.

        Mellow-I agree with your statement. If I adhered to every single " warning" I read, I would be so busy relearning life that I wouldnt have time to live. I am afraid of tornadoes, but I dont live in my basement!

                I think the MAYOR deserves a swift kick in the derriere for that one!

                  I just need to let you know they sell "safe" non-stick cookware on this website...that is made in China.

                    Good point, Stricken.  I didn't  know it was available on this site.  Sure wish it was made in South Pittsburg.

                      Are those Perfluoroalkyls the things us "older" folk used to sniff when we received our freshly printed mimeographed tests?

                        HA!  I don't know, but I remember that like it was yesterday!  That stuff smelled so good!  And don't forget those take-home school announcements!
